We already had most of the materials in our tray, but you can gather a variety of collage materials. We used googly eyes, chenille stems, jewels, and colored straws cut into small pieces. We also included multiple colors of play dough. I thought the girls would end up mixing them to make new color swirl combinations, but they decided on a strict no mixing rule for the first few times they created with the tray.

I wasn’t sure whether the girls would create 2D or 3D monsters, so I was interested to see that both girls chose a different option. Lovey’s monsters were 3D with lots of embellishments. Tinker made a lot of 2D monsters and had fun telling all about their cute little monster family.

These are a few of their monster creations from our first day. I love how they’re all just a bit unique.
